Arsenal’s Late Transfer Move: Back in sight for history: Calvert-Lewin
Transfer deadline is underway, and already there are rumors that Arsenal have identified their next victim in Everton’s attacker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Thus, people would wonder, why is Calvert-Lewin in Arsenal’s list of great players, and what is the potential transfer of such a player to the team?
Influence of Calvert-Lewin at Everton
Dominic Calvert Lewin has been first line of operations at The Blues over the past seasons. Quite surely one of the strongest, aggressive and versatile forward throughout the Premier League, his contribution to crucial goals is immense. His stabbing, however, has compromised his movement, but the prospects of him directing play in the forwards’ box remains enormous.
Arsenal’s Need for a Striker
Arsenal have not had the right type of a goal scorer in an attack force, but Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah ought to have delivered a lot in several aspects. It was apparent that the team was lack of an effective striker, who was able to deliver another kind of strength in the box. And that is where the playing style of Calvert-Lewin comes in as a demolisher of the defenses in front of the goal. He could bring something in the attacking part of the game which Arsenal have lacked so far.
What Calvert-Lewin Brings to Arsenal
What sets him apart at Calvert-Lewin is in the category of first/second balls, challenges, aerial duels, and conversions. He may just be the man Arsenal need as a target man to put away the crosses and set pieces that comes their way. And this could be instrumental in close games situations where it is difficult to go for penalties.
The Injury Factor
However, one worry about Calvert-Lewin is that his disciplinary form has not been so good in the past couple of seasons-he has hardly been able to stay on the pitch. However, in case Arsenal’s medical staff can handle his fitness as well as grooming him as a striker, he can soar to those heights that would make him one of the most feared forwards in the league.
How Calvert-Lewin Could Help Arsenal
Today, Arsenal is an aggressor that freely maintains high speed, constantly passes the ball and makes many runs. We also had a chance to know that Calvert-Lewin can be an important player to fill the gap of more goals for the team. He’s good when it comes to getting goals from crosses and set pieces hence strengthening Arsenal’s attack arsenal.
A Smart Move or a Risk
While signing for Calvert-Lewin could be perceived as a little risky, especially given that he has always had his fair share of injuries. But if he can remain injury free he could be the goal-scorer arsenal requires for next season. This could well be strategic for Arsenal to improve and challenge for the much covet Premier League position.
It is not particularly safe but the possible gain that the company can make will definitely make it worthy being done. If Calvert-Lewin does feature the best of himself, then he might just provide the space Arsenal needed ever since.
This proposed swap deal would take Jadon Sancho to Stamford bridge and his future at Old Trafford does seem uncertain. The Red Devils will also expect the Blues to foot part of the 29 year old’s massive wage bill at Man Utd prepared to quote their own price for the star, who takes home over £15. 6 million annually.
Should Clubs Take a Risk on Raheem Sterling
Another European club (unspecified) have also shown interest in Sterling. Maresca is on record saying that the ex-Liverpool player will not be part of his squad and has called on the English winger to go find himself a new club for the current season.
Sterling has not played football as expected from him since joining Stamford Bridge. Still, even in his final season for the Man City, his performance was not that memorable. Should they really be risking their star status and taking a chance on him then?

If they can’t get an ex-Man City player in on loan, they won’t be doing it, signing a new player directly is also unlikely to go down too well with the fans either. Erik ten Hag and Man Utd are probably watching this scenario and thinking that if Sterling can be bought for such a low price, they can assist him to move back to that form.
It is quite logical that Dortmund would want to get rid of Jadon Sancho and pursue the Sterling model just makes me feel a bit meh. Sometimes it looks as though that small slip on what has been an almost perfect transfer window and United would be well advised not to do this. Okay let’s see how things will turn out as we continue.
